Samsung Weighs U.S. Launch for First Tri‑Fold Phone as 2025 Debut Nears

Samsung says a 2025 debut remains on track; market availability is still undecided.

Overview

  • Samsung is considering selling its tri‑fold smartphone in the United States, though final launch markets have not been set, according to CNN.
  • Minseok Kang, Samsung’s global head of smartphone product planning, said the company still plans to release the device by the end of 2025.
  • The phone is expected to use two hinges to create three display sections, extending Samsung’s foldable lineup into a new form factor.
  • Korean outlets have reported a possible late‑September launch event in South Korea that could also feature Project Moohan XR and new smart glasses, which remains unconfirmed.
  • A U.S. release would depart from some recent region‑limited launches, and the tri‑fold is expected to be a premium, niche device as Samsung notes rising interest in its foldables.
